ONCE MoRE To Tux BREACH
The BaIti more Herald will keep
trying to establish its right to the
position of the great upholder of
law-it may deserve this title, Tut
violation of truth is almost as bad
as one Of law. 1t details an inter-
view with "a prominent Annapolis
lawyer" yesterday. As a matter of
fact no prominent lawyer from An
napolis was in Baltimore Yesterday.
1t says "the residents are greatly
disappointed over the failure of the
authorities to suppress the gambling
and gross Sabbath breaking at Curtis
Bay" This is true in the distract,
but in the real fact is untrue. We
have discussed this matter fully
with our citizens, and we have met
but two who disapprove of the sher-
ifs course. 1t gives history of a
dastardly and murderous assault on
its reporters. This was doubtless
" a war of words and We doubt If
the party who made it knew he
was making it on Herald reporter;
or that it amounted to the magni-
tude of a common assault. 1t quotes
Capt Faruan AS saying hewould clean
the place out in 20 minutes if he had
the power to do 80. Our sheriff will
delegate she power provided Balti-
more Will pay the expense of putting
down its own criminal class. The
funny part OF. it comes in when we
think of Capt. Farnan. He is evil
IDENTIFY a wag. II he could clean
these men out in 20 minutes. Why
does mt he clean out the faro banks,
the poker rooms, the bookmake RS,
the policy shops in Baltimore. We
venture to assert that within five
blocks each way of the Central Sta
ton House there are of these differ
ent kinds of gambling houses, fully
one hundred in full blast every
night.
The Herald made display once
of putting down policy playing
in Baltimore, and it knows to-day
that it is done as openly as ever.
If Capt. Farnan is so anxious to
suppress these things let him sta
ton a policeman at the door of
each gambling house IN his district
and take the names of the parties
he secs going in, as witnesses for
the grand jury.
This twaddle of the Herald's and
Capt. Fernan's nauseates as and
makes us tired. For the sheriff we
will say that he has been handicapp-
ed by the Herald. He had secured
a steamer of Capt. Plowman and
made arrangements to take force
that way, have another come by
Baltimore aud one go by the Short
Line from here, but so public did
the Herald make the matter, that
he couldn't make a move that was
not telegraphed to the gamblers
He therefore would not make two
or three trips at heavy expense to
find the games all closed only to
be opened again as soon as he left.
When the Herald gets a hobby it
rides it rides it to death, and
shakes its own hands in self

Reeds Real Deficit.

The return Of City Treasurer Reed, OF
Bismarck, with the missing funds is anx-
iorsly awaited. Mayor Bentley claims to
have no unfriendly feeling towards Reed,
only desiring that the city should get a
settlement and that the city bond regls-
ter and the treasurers official bond be
produced. It is said that Reed had Sc
cured $500 to square himself, but the
Tribune states this is not enough. 1t says:
The deposit of city moneys made iby
Treasurer Reed in the various banks
were: Mellon Bros, 81 $3.50; Capital
National, $1,211.67, and Bismarck Ma
tional, $1,O23O8, making total Of 81
OOO3O This money till remains IN the
bank pending litigation as to its dlsposl-
ton. Shortly after the ex-treasurer g 3
departure numerous creditors attached
the money. The entire amount was at
tached to secure Reeds private debts.
The city attorney then brought SUIT TO
set aside the attachments, and thus the
matter rests. Should the city secure thus
money, however, there will still be due
from Reed $4,2029O.

Some Timely Observations.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your pat remarks
close on the actual cause of the present
depression here. The general "down-at-
the-heels" "-air prevailing our town and re-
Hected on the face of our people, is doing
us greater daily injury than the short
crops. In the absence of good crop we
must depend on the presence and invest
ment of outside capital to start US again
on the road to prosperity. Other towns
around us are now receiving encourage
ment and impetus from this source. Sew
eral capitalists have visited jamestown re-
Gently in quiet search for investment
and have taken their money away, not as
they have told me, because of the partial
failure Of crops, but because of the dis
couraging statements made them by our
own people and the gloomy forebodings
of those residents who should have been
most interested in keeping them here
and further, because of the general air of
thriftlessness pervading the town. Water
works, electric lights, clean streets, neat
grounds and fresh paint are much more
necessities in time of depression than in
times of prosperity. Why can not our
mayor and council require that private
grounds, streets and alleys be kept clean
and free from weeds and instruct the
police to enforce the requirement; and
why cannot our people freshen up their
premises and brighten up their counte-
nances, and offer an attractive and encour-
aging exterior to the strangers who are
almost daily in our midst?

More Hail,

Sheriff McKechnie was on his farm
yesterday afternoon during the storm,
and reports that heavy fall of hail Wis
tied that locality. Hallstones fell as
large as hens eggs and were driven furi-
ously about by strong wind. MI. Nc
Kechnie looked through his grain and did
not think much damage had been done.
He stated that the ground was white with
hail.
c. E. McElroy, living about two miles
further down the valley, was also seen
last night. He reports that although
considerable hail fell on his places, no
great damage was sustained. Mr.. Nc
Elroy thought from appearances that
there was streak to the west where
some destruction may have occurred and
his opinion is sustained by r1,mor
which stated that grain on Mr.. Severn's
place was badly cut.

HIS LAST WALK.

Christ Ston Takes His Sunday Morn.
ing Walk and is Found Dead.
About half past four Sunday afternoon
as D. H. Fowler was driving along near
j. W. Goodrich's farm, about two miles
northeast of the city, he discovered the
body of man lying along the roadside.
Speaking to him and receiving NO answer,
he jumped from the buggy to Investigate
the mans condition. He found the man,
who was afterwards identified as Christ
Stoll, boarder at the Commercial house,
lifeless and black in the face. Mr.. Fow-
Ter Immediately drove back to the city
and notified Coroner Thorold, who with
H. G. Adams, J. E. Belliveau and A. G
Halstead, proceeded to the spot and re-
turned to the city with the body.
Yesterday Coroner Thorold empaneled
jury consisting OF A. N. Ha]stead, Clark
Titman, and J. e. Belliveau, and held an
INQUEST over the dead body. Only two
witnesses were examined, ID. II. Fowler,
who first discovered the body, and s. A.
Shain, who identified the body as that OF
one of his boarders, Christ Stoll. It was
developed that Stoll had been troubled
for some time with shortness OF breath
and had complained Of symptoms OF heart
disease, and was accustomed to take
long walk every Sunday morning: The
jury accordingly returned verdict OF
death from natural causes. 1t is
supposed that the old gentleman had
started on his usual walk which was
frequently nine or ten miles in length
and was taken with sudden attack OF
sickness and died before assistance could
be reached.
Stoll was a Swede, GA years old and
had been in this vicinity about year
His remains were inferred at the High
land Home cemetery yesterday. .D

Fresh From the Front.

Barney Nc Gee, the favorite rustler OF
the northwest, now in the service OF the
Manitoba road at the front, in it's Great
Falls extension, arrived in the city Sun
day, after several months absence. he
states that no such railroad building has
ever been attempted in the country as is
now being done in the Milk river valley.
They are LAYING over seven miles OF track
day and the work is done in first class
shnpe. The road bed is graded well and
everything constructed for first class
travel and the running of fast trains.
Hill is going to the coast and to other
points after he gets to Helena. This
seems thoroughly settled amongst the con-
tractors-in fact one of the heaviest OF
them, Peter Larson, a contracto rwh Q
three years ago left Mandan with couple
of mules, has the contract for bulldlng
branch into Butte. This grade Is SAID to
be the heaviest in the country. Eng1n-
eer Tilden, before he left Montana LAID
out the most of this work.
The further extention Of the Manitoba
system in Dakota will be this year from
Watertown to Huron and possibly it they
have good luck, from the Sargent county
road to Jamestown. The road from
Minot to Bismarck is not to be COM
menced this year. The Manitoba road is
going to grldiron the northwest and it's
present movements sufficiently indicate
the various points that it Will connect
with next year.

Rev. w. Ewing returned last evening
from the organization of congregational
church at New England City, thirty
miles south OF Dickinson. It is but
ninety Gays since the first settler pitched
his tent there, and last Sunday the
church was organized and the corner
stone for church building,for which the
money is all raised, was laid. One OF the
interesting incidents in connection with
the ceremony was, that while Hon. Thoe.
w. Bicknell, OF. Boston, president OF the
colony, was laying the corner stone, seven
antelope appeared on an adjoining hill
and seemed much interested in bis elo-
quent address. ....

Hill After the y. S. Mails.

MANDAN, Oak. Aug. 3.-There are reas.
ons to believe that the Northern Pacific
will lose it's contract with the government
for carrying the through mails. The prob
abilities are that the ostensible reason
will be that the N. P. track is bad just
west of the Missouri river. When the
mails were delayed there somewhat last
winter, it was understood that the track
was to be improved SO as to prevent the
possibility of delay in the future, but il
has not been down. This will furnish
the excuse but it Is probable that the
real reason will be political. Mr.. Hill is
a democrat worth cultivating, and it is
believed that the contract will go to his
road as soon as it is ready to carry the
mail as far as Helena, in payment fol
services he is capable Of rendering to the
administration.

The Transfer Of the Twelfth Regi-
ment. .
Five companies and the band of the
10Th regiment, U. S. A. arrived in the
city last night from Duluth, enroute to
Forts Lincoln and Yates. They were in
command of Col. Townsend, formerly
stationed at Lincoln as Lieutenant Col.
of the 18th regiment, which went east to
New York points few days ago, but
who has been promoted to the colonelcy
of the 18th, and is again back in Dakota.
The colonel has many friends and acquain-
tances who are pleased to note bis long
deserved advance in army circles, and
glad to see him in the territory once more.
He was detailed by the war department
to inspect both the Fargo and Aberdeen
territorial militia encampments, which he
did to the utmost satisfaction of all.
While IN New York state the past eight
months he has also been detailed to in
spect several militia organizations, and he
states that the new companies in Dakota
compare favorably with the old organlza-
tions of the east. 1t was largely through
Colonel Iownsend's recommendations that
the old territorial militia accounts were
adjusted with the general government,
and the new guns and battery obtained,
which are about to be exchanged for the
obsolete arms now IN use. He is in hopes
of being able to attend the coming en-
campment at Huron and his many ad-
mirers and friends in the militia company
of this city are equally desirous of his
presence there. The colonel was accom-
panied by his wife and daughter, and the
requisite number of captains and other
commissioned officers, with their families.
They have come from Sackett's Harbor
and Madison Barracks in New York state
where most of the men have been sta
toned for five years. They came by boat
to Duluth and returned on the special
train that carried the 18th regiment to
that lake port Sunday last.
The train stopped at this point last
night about an hour, while the officers
and ladies of the party took supper at
the Gladstone. At the request of num-
Der of gentlemen Col. Townsend courte-
ously ordered the regiments fine band to
favor large audience in front OF the no.
tel with number of musical selections.
The band consists of twenty trained mu-
sicians, and is one of the best military
bands in the country. They discoursed
such popular and delightful music that
encores were enthusiastically given at
ter each number, and at the conclusion
of the impromptu concert, three cheers
and tiger were rendered Col. Townsend
and the band.
The regiment expects to embark this
morning at Bismarck for its headquar-
ters, which will be reached by a journey
down the Missouri river.
